L' Hospital's Rule

In this topic:

    (1) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_1.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    (2) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_2.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    (3) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_3.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    (4) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_4.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.  

    (5) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_5.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    (6) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_6.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    (7) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_7.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.
    

Example (L'Hospital's Rule with Intermediate Form l hospital rule _gr_8.gif])  Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_9.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    Solution. The limit l hospital rule _gr_10.gif] has the indeterminate form l hospital rule _gr_11.gif] since l hospital rule _gr_12.gif] and l hospital rule _gr_13.gif] We try to use L'Hospital's rule to find,
    
l hospital rule _gr_14.gif]
l hospital rule _gr_15.gif]
Example (L'Hospital's Rule with Intermediate Form l hospital rule _gr_16.gif])  Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_17.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    Solution. The limit l hospital rule _gr_18.gif] has the indeterminate form l hospital rule _gr_19.gif] since l hospital rule _gr_20.gif] and l hospital rule _gr_21.gif] We try to use L'Hospital's rule to find,
    
l hospital rule _gr_22.gif]

Thus illustrating that L'Hopital's rule can be used multiple times. l hospital rule _gr_23.gif]

Example (L'Hospital's Rule with Intermediate Form l hospital rule _gr_24.gif]) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_25.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    Solution. The limit l hospital rule _gr_26.gif] has the indeterminate form l hospital rule _gr_27.gif] since l hospital rule _gr_28.gif] and l hospital rule _gr_29.gif] Suppose the limit exists, say l hospital rule _gr_30.gif] Then,

l hospital rule _gr_31.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_32.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_33.gif]

Since l hospital rule _gr_34.gif] and l hospital rule _gr_35.gif] this limit has the indeterminate form of l hospital rule _gr_36.gif] and so we try L'Hospital's rule,  

l hospital rule _gr_37.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_38.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_39.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_40.gif]
    
l hospital rule _gr_41.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_42.gif]

Example (L'Hospital's Rule with Intermediate Form l hospital rule _gr_43.gif]) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_44.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    Solution. The limit l hospital rule _gr_45.gif] has the indeterminate form l hospital rule _gr_46.gif] since l hospital rule _gr_47.gif] and l hospital rule _gr_48.gif] Suppose the limit exists, say l hospital rule _gr_49.gif] Then,

l hospital rule _gr_50.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_51.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_52.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_53.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_54.gif]
    
l hospital rule _gr_55.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_56.gif]

Example (L'Hospital's Rule with Intermediate Form l hospital rule _gr_57.gif]) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_58.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    Solution. The limit l hospital rule _gr_59.gif] has the indeterminate form l hospital rule _gr_60.gif] since l hospital rule _gr_61.gif] and l hospital rule _gr_62.gif] Suppose the limit exists, say l hospital rule _gr_63.gif] Then,

l hospital rule _gr_64.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_65.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_66.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_67.gif]

The limit l hospital rule _gr_68.gif] has the indeterminate form l hospital rule _gr_69.gif] since l hospital rule _gr_70.gif] and l hospital rule _gr_71.gif] So we try to use L'Hospital's rule to find,

l hospital rule _gr_72.gif]  

l hospital rule _gr_73.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_74.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_75.gif]

Example (L'Hospital's with Rule Intermediate Form l hospital rule _gr_76.gif]) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_77.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    Solution. The limit l hospital rule _gr_78.gif] has the indeterminate form l hospital rule _gr_79.gif] since l hospital rule _gr_80.gif] and l hospital rule _gr_81.gif] We try L'Hospital's rule to find,

l hospital rule _gr_82.gif]  

l hospital rule _gr_83.gif]

Example (L'Hospital's Rule with Intermediate Form l hospital rule _gr_84.gif]) Evaluate the limit l hospital rule _gr_85.gif] using L'Hospital's rule.

    Solution. Let's make a change of variable to simply the express, namely l hospital rule _gr_86.gif] Since l hospital rule _gr_87.gif] as l hospital rule _gr_88.gif] we have

l hospital rule _gr_89.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_90.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_91.gif]

The limit l hospital rule _gr_92.gif] has an indeterminate form l hospital rule _gr_93.gif] and so we try L'Hopital's rule,

l hospital rule _gr_94.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_95.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_96.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_97.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_98.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_99.gif]

l hospital rule _gr_100.gif]
